In the past, Republicans and Democrats had some famous alliances: conservative President Ronald Reagan and liberal House Speaker Tip O'Neill (D-Massachusetts), conservative Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) and centrist Democrat Joe Biden. And veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is married to a famous conservative consultant: Mary Matalin, who left the GOP in 2016 and joined the Libertarian Party.
But President Donald Trump is known for vilifying both liberals and conservatives who disagree with him.
Comedian and Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, on the panel show "The Five," expressed disbelief that some liberals don't want to be friends with a Trump supporter like himself. And he made that argument on more than one broadcast.
Gutfeld told other panelists, "What does that mean to me if I'm your Republican friend who voted for Trump? That you would believe I would support a Nazi? We've been friends for years. ... How were we friends for ten, 20 years — and now, you found out I was a fascist? How did that happen? You knew I was a right-winger in the 1980s and 1990s — and now, all of a sudden, you're like, 'I can't be seen with him.'"
But liberal Fox News pundit Jessica Tarlov explained why liberals have a problem with Trump supporters, describing Trump as a "completely, morally bankrupt person."
Tarlov told Gutfeld, "Care leads to voting, and then voting leads to bad policies that make life harder. ... Because you like him, he's my president."
